Warm lather on a cool morning. 40 degrees here this AM. GEM Featherweight pleasant shave.
Razor - GEM Featherweight
Blade - GEM Personna SS (1)
Pre-shave - Proraso White
Soap - TOBS "Rose"
Brush - Perfecto brush that I brought back from the almost dead. It has stopped shedding
Post-shave - Thayers "Rose Petal" Toner with witch hazel & Proraso balm
AS - Pinaud Clubman "Vanilla" (not in photo)
I washed face and warmed the bowl & brush with HOT water. The Featherweight is a very nice razor to use once you understand the angle and zero pressure. I am impressed with these blades! I had gotten a brave moment and tried my Puma straight for one pass WTG on my left cheek. It did not take much off and I lost my bravery so, I went back to the Featherweight. I did a 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with no cleanup. Nice feedback from the Featherweight too.
The brush is a little bit limp but, it does feel nice on my face. I was more than adequate for the job of painting my face. Soft! Alum bar raised almost no feedback. No cuts, nicks, or weepers. Washed face with brush squeezings and remainder of the soap from the bowl.
For the weekend, I plan on using the Lather Catcher both days.
